Khunti (Jharkhand), April 22

Former deputy speaker of Lok Sabha, Karia Munda, was admitted to a hospital after he fainted at his home here, an official of the medical facility said.

Munda is stable and under observation, he said.

An eight-time Member of Parliament from Khunti constituency, the Padma Vibhushan awardee became unconscious on Thursday night due to low blood sugar, and was admitted to the emergency ward, the official said.

A green corridor was created to take Munda to the hospital.

The MP had been admitted to the hospital on April 14, too, due to pneumonia and other health issues.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
